Sustainability and Economic Sense: A Lecture at Teesside University

Here is a slightly off-topic entry in my listings today, but coincidentally as I was looking at the Travelwhere drive towards sustainability in travel brochure distribution via online page-turning brochures, I came across a lecture happening at Teesside University which tantalising appears to promise a wide review of how industries in all sectors are handling sustainability issues through design.

The free lecture is to be given at the University tonight - Monday 26 January.

Rob Holway is probably best known as the presenter and expert from Channel 4’s 2007 screening of "Dumped" - a programme which charted the experiences of a group of strangers who were given the task of surviving on a rubbish tip.

He is also a product designer and director of the award-winning company, Giraffe Innovation. The lecture will be entitled ‘Design for a One Planet Economy’ and takes place from 5.00pm to 6.30pm in the Centuria Building. Rob's lecture is aimed at a wide audience, including businesses, decision-makers and all those who are interested in finding out more about sustainability and how it makes economic sense.

This lecture is one of a series of events running at Teesside University from Monday 26 January to Thursday 29 January
